[134.01] Titan on the Eve of Cassini : Observations with HST and other telescopes

Saturn's largest moon Titan will hit the headlines later
this year with the approach and arrival of Cassini. Here we
put this ``new world" in context with a historical record of
Titan's changing appearance as observed by the Hubble Space
Telescope over the last 10 years. These observations show
seasonal changes in the atmospheric haze, discrete methane
clouds, and a variegated surface. Recent results from other
telescopes may also be summarized, and prospects for future
observations to complement Cassini will be discussed.
